The New Zealand Medal Tally Thread

[ozbash]

whats the NZ medal count now?

they are building nicely and i predict a phenomenal total by olympic end.

Moss should have got an easy gold today but had eaten some dodgy sweet and sour pork, so was a bit off colour.

Corney Swanepoel for Gold!!!!

Shame they dont have Rugby in the Olympics, then you guys might have as many medals as you have world cups

Very good chances

Triathlon
BMX
Kayaking

The solitary gold for NZ in 2000 is starting to an look impressive effort in the comparison.

It isn't about winning medals....... being there is half the journey.

Considering we've only really had two potential medalists compete so far (Horses and Burmester) I'm not exactly worried.... although Drysdale getting a stomach bug is a worry, luckily he made it through his semi and should hopefully be sweet for the final.

Not much change from 2000...ehh bro!

Corney Swanepoel for Gold!!!!

Unfortunately Corney has bowed out in the semis

Hayden Roulston just qualified fastest in the field in the pursuit cycling by 2s- looks like a medal coming up!

 

[wittyfan]

London will bring Gold for Corney!

Go Hayden!!!!

he looked like he still had plenty left in him as well

 

[Rovelli]

Roulston vs Phinney (USA) in the QF. He should win and move to the final four. Could be Roulston vs Wiggins (GBR) in the final. Hopefully he medals.

Greg Henderson in the points race is a chance.

Ally Shanks is on shortly

Rowing have five crews in the final. I'm hoping for three medals.

Vili in the shot-put.

Later to come, triathlon we are a chance, Sarah Walker (BMX) is a world champion, and I wouldn't discount the men's hockey team yet.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Pick up the paper this morning and see a big headline on the front page about "Super Saturday" and all these medals we are going to win

Wish they would just let them do their thing without building up a frenzy around it

 

[Rovelli]

Mahe Drysdale gets a bronze and now looking in a really bad state. He was sick all week. Brave effort from him, get well soon.

 

[wittyfan]

Another bronze for NZ in the rowing.

It's a bronze rush!!!
